It is a 1972 Datsun 240z. 85k miles on the ODO. 4 speed.
It is an older restoration that needs a some work to get back to great shape. There have been some upgrades for drivability and reliability. Those being an electric fuel pump and an electronic ignition. A full tune up(plugs, ignition coil, wires, etc.) was done when the electronic ignition was installed 2 months ago. Full synthetic oil is all I've put in it. New polyurethane sway bar end link bushing and new strut rod bushings. There is some new rubber seals as well. There are no leaks in the rear hatch. It has a new battery a month ago. New Clutch slave cylinder. Tires only have a few thousand miles on them. Paint: there are some blemishes, and it's a bit rough around a couple corners(1 crack, some bubbling of the paint on the fender lips), but, it does shine really nicely and with a fresh wax the car looks amazing! The engine bay has been painted black, the radiator supports have been painted the body color silver, the underside of the hood painted to match as well. Door jams painted as well. Rear deck inside was not, so it is the original brown. Frame rails are in decent shape, just did a new underbody coating with a roll on bed liner. What it needs: A little bit of interior work: carpet on the driver's side, carpet on the rear deck, driver's seat has a rip in it, dash is cracked but has dash pad, center console cracked. Probably some simple maintenance things on top. There are no oil leaks and it does not burn mounds of oil. I put in a quart once between oil changes. It's an easy winter project. Not something you have to poor tons of effort into. It's the little things. |

Nissan IDx 'in the plan' for production, needs support from fans [w/poll]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014If there's a trend in the auto industry we can firmly get behind, it's the small, light and affordable rear-drive coupe. The positive critical reception to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins has encouraged other manufacturers to look at building their own rear drivers, and even a few to show actual concept cars based on the idea. The Chevrolet Code 130R from 2012 and more recently, the Nissan IDx twins that were first shown at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show both come to mind, as does the brand-new Kia GT4 Stinger Concept.
Nissan trotted out the IDx Nismo and the IDx Freeflow for another showing in Detroit and we'll admit to being totally smitten with both cars. Again. The duo draw inspiration from the iconic Datsun 510, a lightweight, affordable rear-driver that remains a cult favorite decades after production ended.
Now, a report from our friends at AutoWeek reveals that we may, possibly, hopefully see a production IDx, provided fans make a strong enough case for it. "It's in the plan," Nissan product boss Andy Palmer told AW. According to the report, Palmer said the IDx is "into the first sage of the development process. The next stage is project validation and then looking at the business case. It's no one's intent to waste millions of the company's money, so obviously we have a good feeling about this one."

This father and son duo terrorize the UK countryside in Datsun 240Z pair
Wed, 12 Nov 2014The Datsun 240Z got a lot of things right when it was introduced, with handsome styling, strong performance and a reasonably affordable price. And while the coupes grew a strong fan base in the US, they remained quite a rarity in the UK. Decades later, a father and son in England have latched onto the car and bonded over their shared love for two completely opposite takes on this Japanese GT
There's already quite a collection of exotics in Mel Streek's garage, and his rat rod 240Z, which he calls the Ratsun, definitely doesn't fit with the rest. On the outside, the Datsun looks ready to fall apart, but it's mechanically perfect underneath. Alternatively, Mel's son, Ollie, has a completely different take for his Z with its perfect, shining paint.
Both Zs sound amazing, though. They have a mechanical, somewhat course exhaust note that's intoxicating to hear. You can definitely tell there's some work going on under the hood. Check out this video from Petrolicious for a father and son who both find something to love in these classic Japanese coupes.
